RUNWAY: Balmain FW15

Since taking over the reigns at Balmain, Olivier Rousteing has honed the collection to an opulent level that harnessed his predecessor's predelication for grungy and sexy and made it sleeker and more grown up. Take Balmain's FW15 collection, lush in fabrication from velvet and leather and smart in its loungey tailoring, while the embellishment like metallic sneakers and crystalized jackets gave the collection a very Louis XIV feel.
